As you drive into the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod, you see a “Slow Turtle Crossing” sign. There are a lot of turtles at the sanctuary and the staff and volunteers do an incredible job helping the Terrapins during the off-season.
These two turtles were lazing in the sun on a log on Silver Springs Pond.
There are still plenty of Cabbage White butterflies flitting about this fall on Cape Cod, especially near the marshes.
We saw these two butterflies at Nauset Marsh the other day. I wasn’t sure why one had 1 spot and the other had 2 spots, only to learn later that the female has 2 spots.
They loved the yellow wildflowers growing in the marsh.
